Japanese Babe Ruth

During the off-season, I mentioned that the Twins were after Japan's greatest prospect in years. Not only could he hit, he was very good at pitching as well. As a result he was nicknamed the Japanese Babe Ruth.

He ended up signing with the Angels.

His home run streak is now 3 games.

sigh

Twins!

Three more home runs. A bullpen that hasn't given up a run in 4 games!

All that and the men's gold-medal Olympic curling team throwing out the first pitch (all five of them, horribly)!

Go Twins!!

Dozier!

The Twins rallied to win yesterday and Dozier now has 4 homers in five games.

It was cold and snowing most of the game. I guess that gets them ready for the upcoming home stand.

Lots of Cold And Snow

The Twins home opener is tomorrow. Predicted high? 37.

I still think they should have a dome. This next week is going to be rough baseball weather.

They finish with Pittsburgh today. I still don't understand planning a day off between a two-game series, especially this early in the season. Today should have been the travel day...

Twins 2-2 On The Season

That first inning was disappointing.

The Twins outscored the Pirates 4-0 the rest of the way.

And Dozier blasted another one.

But we still lost.

sigh

Berrios!

Complete game, 3-hit shutout.

4 more home runs! Dozier got TWO.

STILL no runs given up by the starters.

Go Twins!

Twins!

A no-hitter into the eighth. No earned runs by starters so far.

And the offense is showing some life with THREE solo homers: Sano, Castro, and Kepler.

WHOOO!!!
